[Chrissy watches him with forced neutrality, not wanting to get too hopeful. She thinks it might destroy him if he's not able to find anything to keep her with him, and she doesn't want to give him hope to cling hold of. Not yet. It feels too cruel.
She can tell he's forcing a smile, and she gives him a strained one in return. But she nods in an attempt to show him that she understands that he's trying. That's all he can do, isn't it? Try to keep her with him. It's not like this is a foolproof plan that's guaranteed to work.
But he needs her, she can see that. And really, she's pretty sure that she needs him too. She doesn't want to leave and go back to wherever she was. Endless darkness is restful, but not for a young spirit that was brutally killed before it's her time.
Chrissy sits on the precipice of at ease with her fate as long as she's with Eddie, and vengeful spirit that wants to cause misery for others. It's not the kind of person she was, but so much of her innocence and kindness died along with her that day in his trailer. She has to find it within her again.]
Are you sure? [Sounding uncertain, she frets and worries her hands together. Wanting more of the warmth that's radiating off of him, she leans back in and presses their foreheads together. The contact is enough to make her shiver, but it also calms her enough she can speak.]
